If there’s one thing Stuart Weitzman is exceptionally good at, it’s boots, especially the sexy kind. A few years ago, we had celebs and bloggers going crazy for the widely copied 50/50 OTK boots and now the fashion crowd is lusting after the “Highland”, a super sexy over-the-knee suede pull-on boot which has a lacing detail in the back. And even though I feel like I’ve seen this boot on pretty much every stylish celebrity and fashion blogger by now, I’m still not fed up with it in the slightest way. I also can’t seem to pick a favorite color! The taupe version is so cool and subdued while the black version really pops against bare legs and turns up the sexiness factor by quite a few notches! But as gorgeous as these suede thigh high boots are, at $798 (now on sale for 40% off: $558.60) these beauties are way too expensive for me to splurge on the real deal!

Update (07/05/2017): I know shopping for overknee boots in the middle of the summer is probably the last thing on your mind right now, but I happened to stumble upon these super cute “Highland” look-alike OTK boots at Express and just couldn’t help myself.

Pssst, if you have thicker thighs, you might want to check out “Sorcha“, also by Catherine Malandrino: same price, but the shaft’s opening circumference is bigger.

Update (10/24/2016): Similar to the Guess version above are these OTK boots by Dorothy Perkins. They’re available in black, taupe, grey, burgundy and black velvet for $89. I really like the sturdy heel on these which makes it easier to wear these heeled boots for a longer period of time.

Sam Edelman Kent Heeled Suede Over-The-Knee Boots

Update (08/28/2016): Just spotted these amazing and spot-on SW Highland OTK boot dupes by Sam Edelman. They’re admittedly a tad pricey at $190 (now on sale for $86.57), but you do get a genuine OTK suede boot here, so it might be well worth the splurge.

Ivanka Trump “Kellyn” Over-The-Knee Boots

Update (08/28/2016): And if you love the idea of a heeled OTK boot, but you can’t manage walking on 4 inches all day, with its sturdy 2 1/2 inch block heel Ivanka Trump‘s “Kellyn” is the perfect hybrid between Weitzman’s “Highland” and “Lowland” boot. Available in 3 different colors for $134.25.

Buffalo Heeled Over the Knee Boots

Update (08/03/2016): Also found a great Highland look-alike option for all the European based Stuart Weitzman lovers. Check out these fab OTK boots by Buffalo. So gorgeous, right? And not too expensive at €159.95!

Schuh “Misty” Faux Suede Over-The-Knee Boots

Update (03/11/2016): Also discovered these fabulous Weitzman alternatives at Schuh which are currently on sale for under £50 (down from £75). Available in grey or black faux suede. Couldn’t pass up on this deal myself and ordered both colors immediately!

Jean-Michel Cazabat OTK Stretch Suede Boots

Update (01/09/2016): Spotted another fabulous though super expensive dupe of this season’s most wanted boots! They’re by Jean-Michel Cazabat and currently on final sale for $599. The perfect alternative if you want a high quality SW Highland alternative, but you feel like saving $200 along the way.

ASOS Key To My Heart Lace Up Over the Knee Boots

Update (01/09/2016): Discovered these awesome faux suede Weitzman Highland look-alike boots at ASOS today. Too bad I spotted them so late, because they’re out of stock in almost all sizes. Apparently however, they do come back in stock in limited quantities occasionally, so a little cyberstalking migh help here. The taupe version is available here, but it’s currently pretty much sold out as well.

Ark “Laci” Suedette Thigh High Boots

Update (01/09/2016): And here we have another spot-on and budget-friendly faux leather boot alternative for all the European Stuart Weitzman Highland fans out there! Found these Ark dupes which retail for £45. I just added these to my shopping watch list!

Steve Madden “Gorgeous” Over-The-Knee Heeled Pull-On Boots

Of course, where there’s a trend, Steve Madden can’t be too far behind. Their “Gorgeous” OTK boots, available in either grey or black, look just like the Stuart Weitzman Highlands but cost only $99.95 instead of $798! Score! Love this steal deal!

Public Desire “Janine” Over the Knee Faux Suede Boots

While browsing the Public Desire website, I happened to discover these steal-worthy, faux suede SW Highland dupes for under £40. Worldwide shipping is available. Students get a 10% discount on their order.

Kaitlyn Pan Over-The-Knee Boots

I also spotted these fabulous OTK boots by Kaitlyn Pan which are made of microsuede and have many great 5 star customer reviews. They come in a slim fit and are also available in a flat version (aka “Lowland” dupe).

Stuart Weitzman + over-the-knee boots is apparently a foolproof formula for commercial success! Don’t believe me? Just look at all the various fab fashion bloggers rocking their Stuart Weitzman OTK boots below! It all started with the iconic “5050” and is now followed by Weitzman’s next set of super hit boots: the “Highland” (which we have already written about a few weeks ago, see the post here) and the “Lowland” which we are featuring in today’s Real vs. Steal post. Both boots are almost identical in design, but have either a flat heel (Lowland) or a high heel (Highland, d’uh!). It’s certainly not the first pair of OTK suede boots we’ve seen come out in the last couple of years, but definitely the most successful and coveted one (we’re still counting the reader requests for this one). As with Stuart Weitzman shoes in general, they don’t come cheap. Especially not the boots and especially not the over-the-knee kind of boots. These beauties here – please hold your breath here – cost $798! Yup, I cried a little too when I saw that price tag. Luckily, we were able to find a couple of fantastic dupes that will save you the trouble of having to rob a bank to sport this season’s hottest trend.

Catherine Catherine Malandrino “Morcha” Over The Knee Boots

Update (03/17/2017): Stumbled upon these budget-friendly Lowland boot look-alikes by Catherine Catherine Malandrino which are currently on sale for less than $60 and come in either black, grey, taupe, nude and burgundy faux suede.

River Island Over The Knee Flat Boots

Update (11/25/2016): Also discovered these flat OTK boot SW Lowland alternatives at River Island which are on sale for $70. I actually snapped this deal up myself and am quite happy with these faux suede over-the-knee boots.

Buffalo Flat Overknee Boots

INC International Concepts “Imannie” Flat Over-The-Knee Boots

Update (11/21/2016): Stumbled upon another lovely Lowland look-alike boot by INC International Concepts which – judging by the customer reviews – would be best suitable for petite women as these are not quite as OTK as the name would suggest.

275 Central 1603 Flat Suede OTK Boots

Update (11/17/2016): If you’re looking for a high-quality Lowland dupe and are ready to invest (but not quite as much as $798), you might want to check out these genuine suede OTK boots by 275 Central. They do cost $500350 which is obviously a lot of money, but they will still save you $298 $518 compared to the real deal.

Unisa “Adivan” Faux Suede Flat Over-the-Knee Boots

Update (11/17/2016): These flat faux suede OTK boots by Unisa are another Lowland look-alike favorite of mine because they look so much like the real deal, but are also so affordable (under $70). Steal deal alert!

Style Charles “Groove” Faux Suede Over-the-Knee Boots

Update (10/03/2016): I think it’s pretty safe to say that Stuart Weitzman’s Low- and Highland Over-The-Knee Boots are officially getting just as popular as his highly coveted 50/50 OTK boots a few years ago! Check out these fab Lowland dupes by Style Charles which I have come across at JCPenney. Plus, there’s currently a promotion going on where you can get up to 30% off your purchase which would lower the price of these faux suede boots down to a little over $56 (promo code: “9BIGSALE“, offer ends: November 23rd, 2016). Super steal deal alert!

Vince Camuto “Crisintha” Over-the-Knee Flat Boots

Update (10/03/2016): Here’s a set of high quality SW Lowland look-alikes by Vince Camuto. They’re a bit expensive at $125.30 now on sale for $125.96, but they look so luxurious. My personal fave is the taupe color!

Circus by Sam Edelman “Peyton” Stretch Over-the-Knee Boots

Update (10/03/2016): If you’re looking for a way to save while still be on trend, here’s a great budget steal deal c/o Circus by Sam Edelman. The “Peyton” OTK boots are a great Lowland alternative which are currently on sale for under $80 at Amazon and which come in either black or grey faux suede.

Sam Edelman “Paloma” Suede Over-the-Knee Boots

Update (08/28/2016): Found yet another great Stuart Weitzman Lowland dupe today! Check out these fab microsuede OTK boots by Sam Edelman. They look so much like the real deal, don’t you think? Available in black or grey for $175.

Charles by Charles David “Gunter” Over the Knee Boots

Update (08/28/2016): And here’s another great Lowland boot alternative! It’s by Charles by Charles David and currently on sale for less than $90 at Last Call by Neiman Marcus (retail price: $159) and comes in black, taupe, merlot red or dove grey microsuede.

Dolce Vita “Neely” Flat Over-The-Knee Boots

My personal favorite first: the “Neely” boot from Dolce Vita, a spot-on “Lowland” dupe with very positive customer reviews for roughly 1/4 of the real deal’s price. At $200, it sure isn’t a steal find and probably won’t be an impulse buy for anyone here, but if you like the style I suggest you better hurry up with your purchase.

Aldo “Barra” Lace-Back Suede Over-The-Knee Boots

Next up is a boot by Aldo. “Barra” is also spot-on in terms of design when compared to the Lowland. It’s $110 cheaper than the Dolce Vita version, but the reviews for this one are also rather mixed. Anyway, if you want to give it a try, these boots come in either taupe or black suede.

Steve Madden “Odina” Flat Suede Over-The-Knee Boots

Of course Steve Madden couldn’t miss the opportunity to join in on this knock-off game as well! “Odina”, like the other Lowland look-alikes above, is nearly identical to the real deal, but costs only $149.95. Though I do have to add that this boot has a fabric upper unlike the dupes above which are made of genuine leather.

Choies Stretch Suedette Over-The-Knee Boots

Still not in the mood to pay that much for faux leather boots? Well, then how about these Lowland dupes by Choies for a little over $50? Same design, veeeeery different price tag and the customers seem to love this one, too.

Schutz “Lois” Suede Flat Over-The-Knee Boots

And lastly, Schutz. Another absolutely fabulous and spot-on look for less alternative for Stuart Weitzman’s “Lowland”. And not too expensive either at $125 (sale price!) as well! Unfortunately though, they’re almost sold out at Shopbop and I couldn’t find any other retailer stocking this beautiful boot (boohoo!).
